"Resuscitation is initiated with fluids and vasopressors, and a central venous catheter is placed. However, during the procedure, the guide experiences resistance and cannot be removed, becoming trapped" Valencia González et al (2026).
"In conclusion, shortening the CVC dwell time in men by 2 or 3 days, corresponding to a CVC duration of 10-11 days, reduces the CRBSI rate in men and mitigates the higher risk, compared to women" Kriege et al (2026).
"Off label use of PICCs as tnc-CICCs seems safe and effective. It provides an alternative to PICCs in oncology patients at high risk of thrombosis, even when placed by operators with low experience levels" Douchy et al (2026).
New Open Access publication on Inadvertent guidewire retention after radial artery cannulation: report of two cases and safety lessons for vascular access practice from the…
"Arterial catheters demonstrate an ongoing risk of contamination throughout their lifespan, from insertion to removal. A comprehensive prevention strategy should address the entire arterial catheter lifecycle and is most effective when implemented as a bundled approach" Donner et al (2026).
"The distal medial thigh GSV can be reliably visualized using ultrasound across pediatric and adult populations, including those with prior difficult intravenous access" Saadi Neto et al (2026).
"This review identifies a critical gap in the literature: few studies examine CLABSI prevention from the perspective of healthcare providers in LMIC ICUs. Addressing the interconnected HCP, system, and resource-related barriers identified in this review is essential for developing effective, context-appropriate infection prevention strategies" Essani et al (2026).
"Among device-associated infections, the infection rate of VAP was the highest, showing a marked difference from CLABSI and CAUTI" Fujita et al (2026).
"The statistically significant improvements in DIVA identification and first-attempt success rates support integrating the ENA guidelines into rural emergency care" Hotchkiss et al (2026).
"Health care professionals generally perceive vascular access nurses employed in industry as valuable contributors to education and clinical practice when they possess appropriate clinical expertise" Kelly and Girgenti (2026).
"Our aim is to provide concise guidance that will enhance and standardize practices related to peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC). By consolidating current standards of practice into a comprehensive document, our framework seeks to advance the quality of care and improve patient safety" Thompson et al (2026).
"This position paper, endorsed by the Association for Vascular Access (AVA) outlines the scope and consequences of DIVA in hospitalized adult populations and proposes a comprehensive, evidence-based framework to support earlier recognition and more effective vascular access planning" Wuerz and Doellman (2026).
